Never been keen to try a head/neck shot in fear of wounding and losing it

Yeah im the same as @sako75 , just slightly in behind the front should for entry, smashes through the vitals, (heart lungs ) biggest area to aim for with biggest target to hit. Havent lost an animal to date, never dropped one on the spot but a quick scout on the blood trail leaves usually only a 30 meter walk to the animal. I feel confident shooting my rifle and could most likely make the neck head shots if I was forced too but prefer to whistle or bark at the deer to pull them up or make them move a little on the spot for a shot. Hunting for meat so in behind the shoulder usually allows at least one front shoulder to still be able to be quickly boned for sausages patties salami's etc.
